Embakasi East Member of Parliament (MP) Babu Owino warned on Tuesday, March 21 that arresting Odinga would be treasonous due to the former Premier’s high regard in the country.
Speaking outside parliament buildings, Babu revealed that Azimio lawmakers would resign if the Kenya Kwanza administration attempted to arrest opposition leader Raila Odinga.
He stated that, while the protests only hampered business in Nairobi, arresting Odinga would bring the entire country to a halt.
“Raila Amollo Odinga is the fourth arm of the government. If you want this country to go down, even as much utter that you want to arrest him.
“We have 70 percent of the country and we the MPs will resign and we will fight a course that is going to clean this country one and for all,” Babu stated.
The outspoken lawmaker explained that mass resignations would plunge the country into a constitutional crisis, crippling the legislature, the legislative branch of government.
